Question 1089218: The orthocentre of the triangle formed by the lines x=2,y=3 and 3x+2y=6 is at the point?
a)(1,2)
b)(2,3)
c)(3,2)
d)(2,1)
Also explain how. Answer by ikleyn(52921) (Show Source):
This triangle is a right-angled triangle.
It has one side vertical: x = 2,
and the other side horizontal: y = 3.
The orthocenter is intersection of the triangle's altitudes.
So, the right angle vertex is the orthocenter.
It is the point (2,3).
